The latest sale pace and supply can help you choose your window
If you are trying to decide whether to make your move now or give it more time, my answer is to start with the market's current pace and your own need for certainty. In Dallas, TX, a typical sale took 45 days last month.
Looking at the latest numbers, the clearest signal was timing. A 45-day typical sale timeline gives you a practical planning frame, especially if your move depends on coordinating a sale, a purchase, or both.
Supply stood at 4.89 months last month, and there were 3,977 active homes. The practical impact is that Dallas, TX is offering choice without total gridlock, which supports a measured move if you already know your priorities.
If you only remember one caution point right now, make it this homes still active had been on the market about 49 days last month. Where people get this wrong is they plan for the best-case timeline and leave no room for a more typical one. I recommend mapping your move from the closing date backward, deciding what flexibility you have on possession or timing, and making sure your purchase criteria are clear before your sale creates pressure.
Here is the constraint I plan around based on the previous 30 days recent closings were at $420,000 and active asking sat at $425,000. This changes your plan because timing and price are connected. If your move requires certainty, do not rely on an aggressive price or a rushed home search to save the schedule.
Some metrics were not reported for this period. The best timing is the one that matches the market's normal pace and your own tolerance for uncertainty.
